The UFC’s year-end events takes place Dec. 27 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay per view.

The UFC today officially announced those bouts, as well as the night’s preliminary card, for UFC 92. As in years’ past, the UFC’s year-end pay-per-view event is one of the year’s stronger cards with two title fights and a potential No. 1 contender’s bout between Jackson and Silva.

Aside from a heavyweight bout between Dan Evensen and Pat Barry, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported or passed along news of the other UFC 92 bouts, including the recent addition of fan favorite Matt Hamill vs. UFC rookie Reese Andy.

One surprise from the line-up is the placement of Yushin Okami, who is perhaps now the No. 1 middleweight contender, on the night’s un-televised preliminary card. Okami, who fights for the first time since his second-round knockout of Evan Tanner in March, has won eight of his past nine fights and now has a 6-1 record in the UFC.
